After pursuing my PhD in Food Technology which was focused on electrospray-coating of minimally processed fruits, I have contuined working of bio-based food packaging materials. Besides, plant-based protein sources and food hydrocolloids are of my special interest for creating novel food products for special diets like gluten-free diets. Together with my international team, we won EIT-Food Innovator Fellowship program in 2020.
I have completed my postdoctoral research in University of Lleida (Spain) in September, 2024 about plant-based protein/polysaccharide complexes as food emulsifiers.
I am currently working group member of FullReco4Us and Circul-A-Bility COST Actions which are focused on sustainable solution for food waste recovery and food packaging developments.

I would like to share my knowledge and be an active member of a team who works in the similar areas.
